The second, head coach Rick Adelman, was more of a question mark. While his return was expected, nothing was certain. He missed 11 games last season while his wife underwent treatment for seizures, and reportedly entered the offseason considering resigning from his post, via NBA.com's Scott Howard-Cooper.

But that question has now been answered, as Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor confirmed to Sid Hartman of the Star Tribunethat Adelman will return for the 2013-14 season.

"Yes, he did [say he's coming back]," Taylor said.

Adelman, whose head coaching career started with the Portland Trail Blazers in 1988-89, has some unfinished business in Minnesota. The Timberwolves have entered each of the last two seasons with lofty expectations, but each campaign has been derailed by injuries.

Playoff hopes are at their highest, given the roster improvements and a (so far) clean bill of health for all of the prominent players.

Adelman's resume suggests he's the right man to help the Timberwolves maximize the oozing potential of this team.

The important thing for now, though, is the simple fact that his glowing resume is going to continue to grow next season.
